A- No, it is not necessary to mount the Rail to studs. The Rail provides maximum system strength when attached to drywall using our heavy-duty spiraling anchors. However, if a stud-mount application is preferred, you may follow these helpful hints:

1. With an eight foot ceiling, push the Hanging Rail to the ceiling and mount the Rail to the sill plate using a 5/32" pilot hole and the screws provided. (Use 90° Uprights.)
2. At any other height, locate and mark wall studs, then align the holes in the Hanging Rail over the studs. Secure Rail every 16" using a 5/32" pilot hole and the screws provided.  

A- Based on the layout of your closet, extend the shelving wall-to-wall on the longer wall. On the shorter wall, offset the shelving 24" to allow the clothes on the longer wall to hang smoothly.

How strong is the freedomRail system?

FreedomRail is designed for a lifetime of rugged use. All components are made from heavy-duty steel which is coated with a non-stick epoxy coating.

When uprights are spaced 36 inches apart, the Profile shelf supports 50 pounds per lineal foot, or 150 pounds on a 3 foot shelf. For extra heavy applications, place uprights 24 inches apart to support 100 pounds per lineal foot, or 300 pounds on a 3 foot shelf.

In addition, the superior spiraling design of the freedomRail anchors means that you do not need to mount the system into studs to achieve maximum system strength. (If you prefer mounting into studs, use the freedomRail screws without anchors.)
